Purpose and value
Why this system exists
Librarian provides a dependable application boundary over remote Scripture data: references are normalized, retrieval is validated, caches are controlled and search remains bounded across multilingual text.

System structure
Architecture
- 01
Reference parsing and normalization are separated from retrieval and search concerns.
- 02
A public Python API coordinates local models, verified cache state and remote Query/Search services.
- 03
Service adapters keep transport, timeout and response validation outside domain-level operations.
- 04
Configuration and cache boundaries support both embedded-library use and production service integration.
Boundaries
Principal interfaces
Judgement
Engineering decisions
Keep retrieval and full-text search as explicit service boundaries instead of hiding network behaviour inside domain objects.
Normalize multilingual references and Unicode text before bounded search operations.
Verify responses and cache state before making data available to callers.
Confidence model
Delivery, validation, and maintenance
- Release gates and packaged-distribution checks
- Cache-integrity and response validation
- Bounded search and Unicode regression coverage
- Operational documentation for service integration
